Finding Slope on a Graph

The video tutorial explains how to find the slope of a line on a graph by identifying lattice points and calculating the vertical and horizontal changes. It covers simplifying slopes and discusses the unique cases of horizontal and vertical lines, where slopes are zero and undefined, respectively.

What is the first step in finding the slope on a graph?

• Identifying the y-intercept

• Identifying lattice points

• Drawing a straight line

• Calculating the distance between points

Why is the slope of a horizontal line zero?

• Because there is no vertical movement

• Because there is no horizontal movement

• Because it intersects the x-axis

• Because it intersects the y-axis
